Craig got in touch quickly, gave me a rough estimate over the phone and answered all my questions. Surveyor arrived on time, gave instant quote. Price was good. Michael and (another) Craig turned up to do the job on the day, time given. Good, tidy job. Can't fault anything, from start to finish!! Would recommend!

George and his team are experienced builders, replaced my front door with a custom frame/sidelights and raising the floor level in the hallway quite quickly - in fact, they were the only who came next day, gave a quote straightaway and were ready to start in just couple of days. They also had all the necessary tools and materials, were ready to buy something additional quickly on the day - if further adjustments were required to fit everything as I asked. Thanks a lot for your help, guys!
Dmitry
Highly recommend. These guys did a fantastic job of constructing our pergola and decking. Very hardworking and reliable. The job was completed in the time frame agreed and to a very high standard. We would 100% use them again.

DESIGN AND BUILD WITH ROBBIE .. For anyone that doesn’t know me, I’m Robbie, a carpenter from Cumbernauld that designs and builds interior renovation projects, in and around the central west belt of Scotland. When you have a project fitted out with Your Virtual Room - Design and Build, it will be designed, project managed and installed by me (and my team of trades) no middle men, no missed detail, no extra cost. I have invested, and utilize the most up to date design software to show your bespoke designs with Virtual Reality and HD renders, I take the time at the start of the process to ensure all details are correct before commencing with your installation, once you’re happy with the final design, we get to work and create your perfect room! Unlike larger scaled companies, all details are covered by myself and I like to hand over a room ready for the customer to come in and relax, taking care of all trades right up to the last lick of paint! As the designer and installer, I have the advantage of creating bespoke design solutions for your particular requirements, that larger more scaled companies cannot offer. I’m not restricted by one particular product line and this gives me much more freedom when designing round tricky spots.

We had our wooden back door replaced for a new uPVC one on 21/10/11 and were very pleased with the job. Communication was excellent - he came and measured the door and provided a price the following day, which was very competitive, as well as a choice of installation dates. Very punctual and tidy, completing the job in a few hours and taking the old door away leaving no mess. We've since requested a quote for new windows which seemed very reasonable. Would recommend.
